“On the larger federal question of state vs. government, this is a clear victory for the Obama administration because it stated quite clearly the state can’t pursue policies that undermine federal law,” she said. “It’s clearly under the federal purview.”

New York Times White House Correspondent Peter Baker noticed the difference in the CNN and Reuters coverage, tweeting, “Scotus in the Twitter era!”

@CNNbrk tweets, a few minutes apart, avoided characterizing it one way or another. About 25 minutes later, Reuters’ U.S. news feed tweeted the news with a link to a story, without characterizing the ruling as a defeat. Politico’s Marty Kady noticed the disconnect in live TV coverage:

MSNBC and CNN have the words “rejected” and “struck down” on crawl. Fox has the word “upheld” in its chyron.

I just saw Fox News Laura Ingraham taking a conniption on this one. Whoever is saying it’s a right wing victory is out there with the satellites, considering all the cops have is the right to ask for citizenship, not to arrest. They’re still on the same boat, having to wait for CBP officials to respond. We already know how that’s working out.

No, this is a victory for the illegal advocates and the left. Its another hair ball you’re gonna have to accept, as it scrapes its way down your throat.
